Following on from around two years of post-launch support, Ubisoft is saying goodbye Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It's announced that no further updates are happening, although the game's servers will be kept online for the foreseeable future.
Ubisoft did dramatically improve Breakpoint after the game was met with a lot of criticism from series fans. Its final big update, Operation Motherland, was released in October of last year. It added loads of stuff to the open world shooter, including new modes that altered the gameplay loop on a fundamental level.
So what's next for Ghost Recon? Well, a new title, Ghost Recon Frontline, was announced a few months back for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 — but we wouldn't blame you for forgetting all about it. The announcement was quite poorly received when it was revealed that Frontline would be a "massive" player-versus-player shooter. It hasn't been mentioned since, but it'll probably pop up during Ubisoft's rumoured summer showcase.
It's also worth mentioning that Ghost Recon Breakpoint was set to spearhead Ubisoft's NFT initiative — named 'Quartz' — but that clearly didn't go to plan.

Bottom left corner it says “until next time ghosts” so a new Ghost Recon game is being made by Ubisoft Paris? I just want a tactical open world game would love Wildlands 2
I'd love for ghost recon to go back to the tactical games of the early 2000s.
Oh no! Anyway... (nothing more to say, no).
@PhhhCough yes definatly 100% needed..ghost recon island thunder was utterly brilliant and me and my mates played it for what seemed like forever..
It wasn't bad per say, it was just incredibly bland and generic in all senses.
The foreseeable future. Can they really see the future?
Hey here's a crazy idea,
How bout a ghost recon game...That doesn't require a constant internet connection to fight A.I. Controlled bots. that might have been the problem with breakpoint right there.
@amenohi I platinumed Wildlands. What lootboxes and stuff are you even talking about? I never engaged with their store, nor did I need to to enjoy the entire title.
We will never get a good GR game...
Breakpoint was okay after they patched in ai squad mates but it was still a huge disappointment after the fantastic Wildlands.
'I'd love for ghost recon to go back to the tactical games of the early 2000s'
@PhhhCough I agree. However, I think that gamers were a little more intelligent back in those days. These days, I fear that a publishing house wouldn't green light it, due to it being too complicated for this generation, and subsequently, for not having 'mass appeal', i.e. It's easier for them to continue to churn out the latest Final-Mario-the Wild brain-dead nonsense to gain a healthy financial return.
Ubisoft had my cash for breakpoint Day one , inferior product. Wildlands on the other hand , different story. Think I'm giving ubisoft the swerve for a good while.
Not a fan of the series since going open world. Would love to see a return to the older style, even a GRAW2 campaign remaster would scratch that itch.
@amenohi I didn't say they weren't trash, but you spoke as though they were required or something, as though they needed to be interacted with. They didn't.
The ***** is bad in AC, too, but again, you can avoid it all and still enjoy 100+ hour epics.
Their ***** in R6 is way way worse, imo.
If its player vs player not interested
Didn't play this until they patched it extensively, but it wasn't half bad.
Just keep supporting Division 2! That’s my 💩
@AhmadSumadi Division 2 is the bomb, did you try that new mode Countdown they recently released? I'm still waiting on a deal for the new york expansion, but I'd like to see what that's all about and the builds and stuff.
@DnBSkillz I’d like GRAW 3
More Division.
My go to game during Pandemic for some co-op fun with my cousins and brother. They made a fan of me.
@AhmadSumadi
+1 🙂
@Bazooka Typical Ubisoft game then
Wonder if they learnt any lessons and will apply what they have learnt to their future releases...nah thought not!
I would be totally fine with Ubi concluding that NFTs is what killed their game.
@Sheppard as long as it’s open world where i could have 3 of my mates going choosing what to do next and how to do it
@Cherip-the-Ripper haven’t tried Countdown yet but NY is great. And it really ups the game by leaving the gear score leveling and going back to actual levels.
@DnBSkillz I’ve had enough of Ubisoft’s grindy open worlds, micro transactions, and loot boxes. I’d prefer they go back to what made the original Ghost Recon games great.
